In just 12 weeks you can train to become a phlebotomist and become eligible to sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) exam and be working in the medical field as a phlebotomist. Phlebotomy Training About the Career Phlebotomists draw blood from patients and individuals for blood testing in clinical and hospital settings. In just 12 weeks you can train to become a phlebotomist and become eligible to sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) exam and be working in the medical field as a phlebotomist. Phlebotomy Instructor and Assistant Team Leonard L. Johnson Phlebotomy Instructor I have been in the field for over 30 years, and there is no better feeling than to see a student advance in a field where they will be a part of a healing team in Phlebotomy and ETM gives me that pleasure as an instructor for every cohort. My favorite memory is every graduation, the joy displayed by those who grew up in disadvantaged situations warms my heart knowing that ETM is making a difference in the lives of others. César Fotso Phlebotomy Instructor I like to give back to the community. The medical field has been in my heart since I was very young when I saw my uncle dying due to the lack of care. The founder of ETM and her husband gave me everything. She is the one showing me the pathway to this field. They inspired me with the spirit they spread all over the organization, serving and helping with Joy, Love and humility. It is always a pleasure when I work into the classroom to teach for ETM. I can highlight here that represents one of our strengths as a Team. We constantly evaluate our work, put questions on our work for a better outcome for our students. This makes us put our students first before the team and the organization. Therefore, the student's success is our priority. Ericka Thomas, RPT (AMT) Phlebotomy Teaching Assistant I am passionate about helping others gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in phlebotomy, which is why I’m eager to work as an ETM assistant. I look forward to sharing my expertise and guiding students in developing critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving skills, all while bridging the gap between phlebotomy theory and real-world practice. Mentoring and teaching also allow me to contribute to the growth of future phlebotomists while continuing to refine my own communication, leadership, and organizational abilities. Taneia Armstrong Phlebotomy Teaching Assistant I would like to continue assisting the instructors of Empowering The Masses because I have a desire to make a difference in peoples live and also to give back to my community in any way possible. I love seeing people trying to do better with themselves. Being able to have the opportunity to make a positive impact, become an inspiration, and shaping their minds gives me such excitement. It’s an honor being a part of the journey of not only success but making a change in their lives as well.
